    Wilder has now equalled Marciano’s 6 successful title defenses.

    This must be an iconic sporting moment of the 21st Century:

    About ten times more competitive than Wilder's latest.

    Which is probably why competitiveness is not the singular feature in which you critique the quality of a fight.

    Again, Mike Tyson KOs.

    I wish I'd filmed that time I sucker punch a grandma for her handbag in the park.

    I made it cinematic, trust me.

    He’s not lineal Champ, doesn’t count.

    Unless we want to call the top four HWs pre-80’s champions?

    You can’t tell the difference between a sanctioned boxing match, and assault on an innocent grandma?

    I guess Bum Fights are like Ali-Foreman to you? D:

    We can choose your top four, no difference.
    You think we should acknowledge them as champions?

    How would you decide who is a champion with one belt, versus a unified champion if those belts don’t even exist?

    It raised Wilder's stock in fantasy fights, and answered a few questions, if not all of them in his favor.

    I know Joe Louis is a great but i just can't see him doing anything apart from being stretchered out of the ring, that one-two would knock him in to next week IMO.

    Ortiz's Jab made Wilder look bad until he faded in the 10th. Louis by dec.
